My father was a sargeant in US Air Force during Korean Conflict. He was selected to outfit Marlon Brando with parachute riggings on the set before he entered the water during that scene. I have a nice news clipping of it from our hometown newspaper.
Every time I watch old Oscar shows, which I also saw as a child in the 1950's, I like them so much more than the current Oscars, which I can't sit through anymore. Men and women were beautifully dressed, presenting the awards in a dignified way (more or less); no horrible production numbers; no pretentious set pieces; and no over-long notice me! Notice me! speeches. No silly scripted banter. Whether or not they behaved like adults in their private lives, they were Grownups on this occasion. Thank you for uploading this. Katy Jurado was the best.
I totally agree! The glamor of it all is gone, replaced by this snarky cynical nod to popular culture. The whole point of movies being an important and beautiful art form and distraction of our hectic times is not celebrated but mocked.
0:09 It's interesting that in 1955 Humphrey Bogart was already associated with the song "As Time Goes By" from Cassablanca. Bob Hope's joke at 3:00 about "I wish I had his ball bearings" is a reference to Bogart's role in "The Caine Mutiny" where the character he played had a nervous breakdown on the witness stand and began rolling ball bearings in his hand.
That’s cool, because Casablanca’s storied legacy evolved over time. It won academy awards, but it didn’t have the nominations equivalent to its current legacy. But it would stand reason that by 1955 it was more accurately depicted as a pop cultural mammoth. Hence the immediate association.
I served with the First Infantry Div. 1965/66 in Vietnam. We were located at a combat infantry location Ben Cat, between the Michelin rubber plantation and the Cambodian boarder. Martha Rea visited us at Christmas! Thank you Martha and Bob Hope!!
Humphrey Bogart had been married to Lauren Bacall ten years by this time. He would also pass away two years after this appearance from esophageal cancer.
I give my thanks to the individual for sharing the video, I am joyous to view the footage for the first time. I am curious if there exist more videos of the Oscars that has yet to be discovered and shared with the public.
On The Waterfront won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Actor for Brando [ he accepted on this occasion], Best Director for Elia Kazan, Best Supporting Actress for Eva Marie Saint, and Kaufman for Cinematography; not sure if Budd Schulberg won for Original Screenplay.
Bogart left this life at only 57 years old in 1957. I remember that day in January. I barely knew who he was, but it was a bitterly cold, grey day in Los Angeles and the adults all seemed sad. Bogart claimed to have been born on December 25, 1899. Bob Hope was born about 1905, and yet he lived to be over 100 years old! Not sure of his date of death, but it wasn't that long ago. I wish Bogart could've stuck around for another 25 years, and kept on making movies.
Abbey rent is a company that rents construction equipment and handles landscaping and party/events. What Bogie meant was the make-up artist had to do so much work to get Hope to look like that. Later Hope mentions the name Westcroft. It is also in gardening and farm business.
Undoubtedly On the Waterfront is the greatest movie ever directed by Elia Kazan followed by Street car name Desire.One of the finest director of golden era.
They announced the trophy announcer, trophy announcer walks to the stage and announces the winner, winner walks to the stage and gives a short speech. All this in little over 80 seconds!
Bop hope hasta fuera de las peliculas era gracioso, Humprey e ygual asombra verlo reirse, en sus peliculas se destacaba por su rostro serio en algunas pelis asi con cara de malo, eso lo hacia verse huapo y varonil, actores como ellos, como todos los actores del cine negro del cine de antaño, del cine antiguo , los de hoy nole hasen el peso esas peliculas asi como las de Humprey aveses de mafioso , con esa pinta para haser ese papel nohay. Tenia su timbre propio para actuar que lo caracterizaba, Bop Hope e ygual. Descansen en paz y los recuerdo viendo sus peliculas.👍👍
I saw Bob Hope in Reno when I was young, and tried to say hello to him. He walked by me as if I didn't exist. It really left me with a bad impression of him... ... Years later I learned by that time in his life he was practically deaf!
Franky G you need to watch the video closer. The fact that you made that comment about Bogey's and Hope's handshake tells me that you are not aware of certain things in the world. I am very familiar with that handshake. Perhaps someday you will understand.
Bob Hope's funny comment about the ball bearings was unlikely to be an ad-lib. Though Hope was a great comedian and had a superb delivery and sense of timing, he needed others to write his material for him and could rarely ad-lib. Of course, David Niven's legendary and hilarious "shortcomings" quip, on the other hand, was a masterly an ad-lib.
James Feldman- Nivens didn't ad-lib either. Streaking, a ridiculous fad if ever there was one, had been anticipated, and that line had been prepared for him in advance. (I read that in a history of the Academy Awards somebody gave me for Christmas twenty years ago.) That shouldn't take away from Nivens, though. He delivered the line perfectly on live television.
Bill, I guess we won't know for sure whether Nivens was tipped off and had his line in advance or not regarding Robert Opel's infamous Oscars streaking caper. If the entire episode was a planned stunt along with Nivens' punch line, you'd think several people in the loop would have disclosed the truth at some point. But that hasn't happened. As far as I can tell, the only source for the story that the event was all planned is an article by Steve Harvey called "What You Won't See at Oscars On Cue: Behind Those Cameras on Oscar Night," featured in The Los Angeles Times (March 29, 1993), page F1. But there's no other source anywhere that I could find corroborating this theory. Adding to the mystery is that Nivens does seem to be gathering his thoughts immediately after the event, making "thinking" gestures like pulling at his ear lobe, taking advantage of the audience laughter to figure out exactly how to respond.
I remember one definite ad lib, a few years after Marilyn Monroe died. Angela Lansbury was at the podium, about to present an award, when a random mention of Marilyn being a "bombshell" was made by someone. Then, something heavy fell from above the stage, resembling a sandbag, possibly a counter weight for the stage curtain, narrowly missing Angela. Without missing a beat, Angela said, "Marilyn Monroe!" It was eerie, unsettling, and a bit scary. People on the stage and in the audience were momentarily unsettled. I'm surprised this isn't on you tube.
The set looks like its spent its life being bashed around the center ring of a circus. Obviously, nobody stood back to take a look at all that missing paint before they went to air. And, yes, looks like everything brought their own chairs from the backyard. What a cheap production
A priceless bit of film showing the comedic talent of Humphrey Bogart. It seemed like he was enjoying the moment.
Bogie had a beautiful smile.

spot on
@rick mack Politics aside today's Hollywood has no class .

You said it all in one sentence: "Whether or not they were adults in their private lives, they were Grownups on this occasion."
Not to mention liberal and hateful democrat politics being foisted on the TV viewers what there is left.
So happy we have this footage of legends.Thank you.👏👏👏👏

What's interesting about it? Of course in 1955 he should "already be associated with the song." Bogie and the film made that song famous forever.

On the Waterfront is one of the great movies. It's refreshing to see how casual those awards were at one time.
Giants walked the earth at that time.

Wow what a privilege 👍
Proof positive Bogart had a flair for comedy that was just barely tapped into.
Yes I've seen that too
@@jameshuseby6290 Bogie was the best. So sad he passed so young.
Did you ever see him on the Jack Benny Show?

Just thought I might mention that today (14-01-2017) marks the 60th anniversary of Humphrey Bogart's death. RIP, Bogie.
Look how good he looks:
He has just about two more years to live.
he died from cancer due to smoking!!!

2:05 can anyone explain the "who made you up" Joke?
I think he says "abbey rent" but I don't get the reference so I don't get the joke. Anyone?
Abbey rent is a company that rents construction equipment and handles landscaping and party/events. What Bogie meant was the make-up artist had to do so much work to get Hope to look like that. Later Hope mentions the name Westcroft. It is also in gardening and farm business.
Sigh. Here's looking at you, Bogie.
Undoubtedly On the Waterfront is the greatest movie ever directed by Elia Kazan followed by Street car name Desire.One of the finest director of golden era.
It's amazing how much Kelsey Grammer looks like Bob Hope!
The jawline certainly reminds me of Dr. Frasier...
A good casting for a biopic right here!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Niles don’t try to act hip you remind me of bob hope when he dresses up as the fonz 🤣🤣🤣🤣
NO CGI folks......just good writing, acting and directing...no need to wonder why the great pictures are great
"Casa Blanca "a kiss is but a kiss💋 as time goes by. Loved Bogie and Bob Hope was so funny Thanks for the memories. RIP my your souls be at peace 💔🙏💔

Never meet you're idol as they say....maybe he's not yours but I've been there and its so true
At least you were lucky to be near the legend
He also had eye problems for many years that progressively got worse over time. That may be another reason for the perceived snub.
Met him, spent time with him, interviewed him. He was kind, considerate and never condescending.
The ball bearings part got me. Caine Mutiny
So there WAS a time when "The Academy" had a sense of both humour and its own self-importance! Not to mention performers who were genuine "stars."
Almost 70 years ago...wow
Hermosa Katy Jurado !!
Good acting
1:30 "are you and me" you heard 'im! finally it's nice to hear somebody using good gramar. these over educated types are hard on the ears.
What does he mean by on peppers or papers?
He said "on purpose" meaning Bob's comedy was not funny. What I didn't catch is when he said "Who made you up, Abby.."?
What name did Bogart say after he said "who made you up?"
Great, great movie!
CLASS! What ever happened to it.
Katty Jurado wow!
Humphrey Bogart war so Klasse.❤❤
Connie jurado?? Katy
He did not say Connie. Sounds like he said “Katy” pronounced the Spanish way - like Kah - ty.
Compare the grace and dignity of this era with today's schleps in the industry.
Please! Not that! Anything but that!
Back when the Oscar's were great and not a terrible propaganda outlet. Back when people gave a shit about yall
2:48
Bob Hope shakes hands like a woman. You can see Bogie squirming for a split second when he receives it.
Franky G you need to watch the video closer. The fact that you made that comment about Bogey's and Hope's handshake tells me that you are not aware of certain things in the world. I am very familiar with that handshake. Perhaps someday you will understand.
See that Masonic handshake?
Those fold out chairs tho
I like Bogart more than Hope. I think he's a way better actor and more likeable. Bob was overrated. Hardly a chuckle
Great !!!!!!! . Now look what become of the Oscars.
I agree everything's fucked up these days
They were the generation that firebombed Tokyo and in one night killed more people than both atomic bombs.
Wow,, katy jurado,,,, x lo visto las cosas siempre han sido igual, los mismos chistes sobre el acento,, 😂😂
Sad. Bogart had less than two years to live.
I was thinking that, when I saw the date, 1955.
I’ll never understand how anyone could ever find Bob Hope funny.
"I wish I had his ball bearings."
If that was an adlib, it is tied for first place with Niven's "shortcomings" Oscars-adlib about 20 years later.

Suggestive and refers to Bogie's Captain Queeg role in "The Caine Mutiny".

LOOKS HANDSOME1 HEY THERE, FOREGOING DRACONIAN WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ABOUT THAT, GUYS
it would have been awesome if bogie came out in a trench coat and fedora hat on
Bogart never like his image

@2:00 - And that's when they realized that they were...
What a farce!
No political speeches.
la gran actriz y bella Katy jurado! y esos tipos saben quien diablos serán? Hu? jajaja!
Bob Hope can act enough !
he was marvelous in The Seven Little Foys
Bogart became very ill within a year of this show and passed early in 1957 .
And Bob Hope lived to be about 103 years old! Bogart died at only 57 years!
@@lemorab1 Humphrey Bogart is one of the oldest-lived actors. I just learned this today

El fotografo muy mamon con la hermosa katy. Ridiculo
look at that no diversity
First!! :)
Can Bob Hope act or does he really not like Humphrey Bogart
I don't think any of us ought to go into it too deeply.
